We might be able to create the appropriate component (doing a suitably extraordinary amount of damage with a slow reload time) and set the tonnage to something like 30,000. In conjunction with that, we could also create an appropriate Weapons Platform large enough to hold the component.

The attempt would be to create a WP that can only be built on a site with RW size storage capacity (32,000 - 64,000 cargo).


Strictly speaking, the facilities we're talking about should be classed as a Stellar Manipulation option that, when activated, can be used to destroy 1 fleet anywhere in the system containing the RW. I would not imagine it to be a combat type option. It would fit in nicely - somewhere in between the fast paced destruction of ship-to-ship combat and the elimination of all ships in the system when detonating a star. We are after all, referring to a very controlled, limited detonation of the star photosphere...

Cheers.
